*Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless brings a thrilling twist to the battle royale with its focus on controlling cash. The notorious mob don, Fletcher Kane, has strategically placed safehouses around the map, and taking control of one can unlock special rewards. Central to this season's action is the Gold Rush mechanic, which we'll dive into below.
What Is Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2?
Gold Bars have always been a significant part of *Fortnite*, enabling players to collect currency and exchange it for various in-game advantages. In Chapter 6, Season 2, the pursuit of gold introduces the Gold Rush feature. When activated, Gold Rush boosts your speed, increases the swing speed of your Pickaxe, and enhances the damage it deals to structures. Similar to Boons or Medallions, Gold Rush provides a temporary yet powerful advantage over your opponents, making it a valuable asset in your quest for victory.
How To Activate Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2
Activating Gold Rush is more accessible than other game abilities, offering multiple pathways to gain this advantage. One way is by diving into gold-infused water scattered across the map. A quick swim in these golden pools will grant you the speed and power boosts of Gold Rush. Keep an eye out for these spots, as they're likely to appear in your game.
For those who prefer to stay dry, mining Gold Veins is another method to activate Gold Rush. These veins, which are the source of Gold Bars on the Battle Royale Island, can be found and mined to trigger the ability. The prime location for Gold Veins is in Shiny Shafts, where Fletcher Kane sources much of his supply. However, be cautious—Kane's allies are ever-present and fiercely protective of his wealth.
That's the rundown on what Gold Rush is and how to activate it in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2. For more on what's coming up, check out the rumored collaborations for the Lawless season.
*Fortnite* is available on various platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3, ensuring you can jump into the action no matter your preferred gaming setup.
